Abstract
A computer executes a predictive information discovery engine in an operating environment that includes execution of an application with which a user interacts to accomplish a task. Trigger signals are received from trigger components that monitor the user's interaction with the application and respond to user actions to generate the trigger signals. The trigger signals include signal-specific metadata obtained from a store of metadata including current context information about the user's use of the application. The trigger signals are automatically responded by (i) querying external data sources for information relevant to a current operating context as reflected in the signal-specific metadata, and (ii) for information returned in response to the querying, presenting the returned information to the user in the current operating context to enable the user to use the presented information in connection with the task.
